If you remove the word β€œObamacare” from the question and run the poll again, support for the expansion would likely increase by about 10% if not more. Many Americans still believe Obamacare and the ACA are two different health care plans.

So he is conceding that Pennsylvania flipped and that Mississippi is a blue state now?

Classic America..let's just have firefighter constantly give plasma instead of forcing companies to research and design safer equipment.

I would like to think he would issue an apology but I don't think he will.

Falcons accuse Patriots of nefarious tactics on key play in Week 9 game The Patriots are so back they are getting accused of cheating again.

Watched the video several times, and you can see Hawkins 11 yards off the ball clap twice, to get Carlton Davis’s attention, before making a quick hand gesture. I'm assuming he is signaling a coverage change. It is a BS claim if the Falcons are referring to this.

That is good news.

Maye is keeping the Falcons in the game. He needs to step it up.

Nice to see a fast start on both sides of the ball.

Seems like a pretty cheap price for taking over America.

People in my community have started paying for meals at local restaurants and hanging the receipts at the restaurants so anyone in need can come in and claim one for a free meal. It doesn’t fix all of our community’s problems, but I’m grateful that this option exists for those who need it.

Canada is so much better than America in so many ways. Good for them.

Marjorie realized her construction business is losing money because so many of her workers are being deported, so this is about protecting her finances, not a change of heart.

The contract was likely easier to finalize since Marcus negotiated it himself and didn’t have to factor in an agent’s commission when determining the final terms.

Looks like a team friendly contract.

I used to think Stefon Diggs was a prima donna receiver, but watching him play and interact on the sidelines has changed my opinion. Maybe it’s because the Pats are winning, but he seems fully committed as a player and genuinely supportive of the coaches.

The story is heartwarming but it's always sad to me that a rich country like America has to rely on donations and charity so that people can afford food or get medical care.

They did think of it. It was called the Schutzstaffel.

Glad they extended Marcus. He’s got incredible talent in all three phases of the game and definitely earned this extension with his play and dedication.

22 million of those are working for companies like Welfare King Walmart who won't pay a living wage. Taxes shouldn't supplement companies like Walmart who don't want to pay employees a living wage.

You really can't recreate Myles Garrett in practice with any player so at least the Pats made a win out of this and Campbell gained valuable experience in the process.

My favorite book. It has a long story, but I flew through it because I was completely drawn to the characters.

Patriots broke 20-plus year tradition Sunday: Why Vrabel brought back player intros The Patriots have been introduced as a team at home since 2002. That changed before Sunday's win vs. Browns.

This article made me laugh. The last time the Pats did this was back in 2002, and it didn’t go quite as planned with reintroducing the introductions yesterday. I’ve always liked the team introduction, but since they’re winning, I don’t really mind the change. #patriots

Guess we might have to get use to the Pats slow starts.

He was so excited after that he looked like a rookie getting his first touchdown. Loved seeing that in him.

I'll describe it as a "big beautiful" map and I'm all for it.

Nice. Gerrymandering will remain legal until Democrats start winning more seats with it. Then the GOP will cry foul and demand it be banned.

Fetterman’s stroke has clearly affected his thinking, which might explain why his views now align more with Republicans. It’s time for him to step away from the Democratic Party.

The colors have been surprisingly good despite the drought. Fantastic pic.

Agree on two but let's turn the ballroom into a soup kitchen for the homeless.
